One overlooked topic in the offseason at this point has been what to do at the Kicker position with Gostkowski. He carries a $3m cap charge next year and $3.4m in 2014 which doesn’t seem sustainable in a flat salary cap situation with more pressing needs to address. I think the Patriots strongly need to consider cutting ties with Gostkowski (who has been fairly average this year) and going with a new, cheaper K (probably a late pick) sooner rather than later. Thanks for your thoughts Mike!

I wouldn’t totally rule it out, but Gostkowski’s been pretty consistent, and barring a major need to open up even more cap space I think he’ll be safe.

Gost missed 6 field goals this year, tying a career high from his rookie year, but he also hit a career-high 15 from 40-plus yards. I wouldn’t rule out some quality competition for him in training camp, but it would take a lot to dethrone him.

Good stuff from Doug Kyed at NESN, with a few interesting coverage linebackers. I’m all for taking one of those somewhere along the line.
